My results after testing DirectStorage 1.4 on 5090/9800X3D. Zstd has the best compression ratio. I assume that we still don't have optimized GPU Zstd decompression drivers, so GPU Zstd decompression bandwidth is still lower than CPU Zstd. CPU Zstd BW is very close to GPU GDeflate

Excellent news. NVIDIA GPUs now support Advanced Shader Delivery with the latest driver. Even better news: ASD will work on any storefront (including Steam) as long as you've got the Xbox app installed on your PC.

DLSS 5 on vs off comparisons in Where Winds Meet (update coming in late November.)

A couple of DLSS 5 comparisons in Hogwarts Legacy (update coming on Nov 5th.)

That seems too low. Is it possible that it just hasn't updated to reflect the actual revenue on the current view count? On a video I published last year that has a similar amount of views, I have $86CAD/$60USD.

Rebuilding the BVH when using RT with complex geometry (like Nanite) is very expensive, so devs typically use low quality proxy meshes, which results in missing/inaccurate reflections & shadows. RTX Mega Geometry in Gears of War: E-Day fixes this at minimal perf cost (~11%.)

No surprise here, but the Sony BRAVIA 9 II was voted the best LED TV at the @HDTVTest LED TV shootout. Interested to see how it fares in the overall TV shootout vs the top OLED.

RTX Mega Geometry provides a nice boost to visual fidelity for only about an 11% drop in performance in Gears of War: E-Day. youtube.com/watch?v=63YudlfS…

Safari doesn't have the ability to go back to the previous page with the back button on the mouse, so I created an extension to do so with nothing but natural language using the "Describe an Extension" feature for Safari in macOS 27. Pretty cool feature 👍
